As a result of negotiations between Edison Schools and San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), Edison Charter Academy will also remain in its current facility and the SFUSD Board will discontinue any attempts to revoke Edison's Charter.

In the three years since it opened, Edison Charter Academy has made significant strides toward improving student achievement and building a positive school environment. According to recent statewide test results, this school, historically the lowest performing in San Francisco, ranked third for growth of the district's 71 elementary schools, as released in the Academic Performance Index (API).
